📌 Why #AIEthics Matters More Than Ever

Artificial intelligence has moved from experimental labs to the back‑office of multinational corporations. It also powers classroom tools in Istanbul and autonomous agents that negotiate contracts for SMEs. This ubiquity creates a moral imperative: we must ensure AI serves humanity instead of exploiting it. In early 2026, Twitter conversations around #AIEthics, #AIAgents, and #YapayZeka showed that ethics is no longer a niche academic debate. Today, it is a business‑critical, policy‑driven requirement.
